Once again it's ready, shoot, aim

Trump is considering scaling back White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s public role....

The press secretary … is no longer expected to do a daily, on-camera briefing after Trump’s foreign trip....

The briefings have become one of the most dreaded parts of the president’s day, and Trump has told allies and aides he doesn't want Spicer … publicly defending and explaining the message anymore.

The really sad! part of Trump's probable diktat is that he probably believes in its merit: that the daily dreadfulness of the Trump White House is merely a matter of poor messaging. And from I've read, there's not a soul in said WH who is willing to slap his orange cheek with a lucid correction.
